L'Oreal LeGrand Mascara


Well girls, I hope this column will be the beginning of some really helpful short articles on the latest products out there. It will be a honest evaluation. Does the product work as advertised? Is it worth the price? How can you best use it and under what circumstances? And of course color evaluations. With so many products out there, which ones to buy and which ones to pass? Since I love to try anything new out, well - at least once, I thought this would be an opportunity to help everyone else in the process. The only drawback is that I've got more stuff than room to store it in. How many nail polish colors have you bought only to put it on and find that it looks dreadful without at least 10 coat's, or it takes forever to dry. Well that is what I'm trying to aim this column towards.

My first one is on the new L'Oreal's LeGrand Curl mascara. The TV ads looked tempting. The models' lashes were long and curled up to her forehead, or so it seemed. My first impression was, wow, now I can throw away the crimper, and have more room for another addition to the make up case.

With that, I stopped off at the local drug store and picked up a tube. At $7.95 it was a bit pricey, but what the heck. A girl has to try her best to look beautiful. Saturday night came, and after the usual full-face makeup session, accent on the eyes, I was ready for the LeGrand experiment. (No pun intended.) My lashes have moderate length and even a slight upward curl. Without even looking at the crimper, I applied the mascara with my usual upward strokes. Two strokes and then I stopped and waited for the lashes to curl. Well bless my little heart, they did curl and quite nicely I might add. A few more strokes on the other eye, and I was ready. The lashes did curl very naturally. While mine were not as long as the model on TV, I got very nice results. Good-bye crimper!

The final test was how well does it come off. I used my usual Mary Kaye (no relation) Deep Cleansing Remover and with my usual double pass on the removal, it was gone. Not even a trace left.

In my opinion, this produce is a must buy for every girls make-up case. At $7.95, it is slightly pricey, but if it makes you look beautiful, it is well worth it. As with all mascara, don't share, and discard after 3 months or as soon as you smell something funny with it. If you get an eye infection, discard the old mascara, and wait until it clears up before using a new tube.
